Coesite-bearing eclogite associated with meta-ultramafic rocks (garnet peridotites). The complex occurs as a tectonic block within foliated quartzofeldspathic gneiss, and consists of eclogite, kyanite-rich eclogite, retrograded eclogite and elongated lenses of meta-ultramafic rocks.
Located in the southern Dabie Mts.
